Nothing I have said has even implied that innocent men would be "stitched up" simply that known villains would be reported for motoring offences at every opportunity to deprive them of their wheels which form such an integral part of their criminal activity. Do you condone the shooting by serving police officers of Mark Duggan in Tottenham, then their attempts to "prove" that he fired at them first - despite the fact that he was unarmed - by planting a weapon? After all, he was said to be a 'known' villain. *Not enough evidence for a conviction, but enough for the police to shoot an unarmed man in cold blood. Presumably we should be truly thankful that the people of this country are protected from unarmed men by their swift execution without having to wait for the criminal justice system to put them in prison. You have added an inability to read to your list of imperfections. I have specifically stated that I don't condone "stitching up" but that doesn't mean I would shy away from getting a villain legitimately banned from driving to curtail his criminal activities. Or, is that not cricket and you would rather the police spent 10 times the manpower to catch him in the act of burglary to achieve the same end? George |
